Title
USF'nA (Geographically Correct Version) EXPLICIT
featuring Possible Oscar
Baldbox, the one-weekend wonder that wouldn't die, proudly presents the one song on The Dumb Album that took half of that wonder-weekend to write.
After hearing this song, you may ask, "Baldbox, why do you hate America?" We don't! We love America! We just hate every state in the Union.
So we wanted a surf rock shoutout style parody that insults all 50 states. But ShoEboX did not have a surf rock band in his basement [we looked], and we forgot Indiana [the "forgettable state" as their license plate boasts]. We used an old Yamaha keyboard with automatic beats to which the term "rock" had been quaintly applied, and so the version on the CD kinda blows [I know, shocker].
This version is much better. It features hypertalent chameleoncore band Possible Oscar, who just decided one day, out of the blue, on a whim, to be the surf rock band we always wanted but could never find. Even behind the water heater.

This was the song that made me buy the Baldbox CD at Marscon. This is the corrected version that makes me happier than....something extremely happy. Sorry, it's 3 in the morning, and my cleverness is asleep. But YAY NEW(ish) BALDBOX!

This is my favorite Baldbox track.

PS - Possible Oscar makes all tracks better!!

So. Cool.

I stared losing it at the Kansas line! Great work you guys! Now, onto Puerto Rico, Guam, and Canada!

Hooray for Possible Oscar! This is pretty good, guys.
dino-mike - Jun 19, 2009
The lyrics are friggin' brilliant guys!
critter42 - Jun 19, 2009
hehe your Tennessee lyric will sure piss off the Middle and East Tennesseans - Excellent!

Massachusetts gets a bad rep... it actually has one of the lower sales taxes out there (5% last I knew - MN is 7.75%)
weirdojace - Jun 19, 2009
The line about Tennessee is completely true.
oddaustin - Jun 19, 2009
Definitely one of my favorites off the Dumb Album, but adding Possible Oscar to it all officially makes it a FuMP classic! Amazing work, guys!!!

I have to agree with the New York one. People forget about the rest of the State because of NYC. Man sometimes wish NYC and Long Island just sink in the the sea.

That was effing hilarious. Got more LPLs (laughs per lyric) than most songs claiming to be funny. @critter42: Elvis called Memphis home -- that's in WEST Tennessee, for the geographically inclined. (And the joke is pretty dang funny, even to someone like myself who is both a Christian and a native Memphian.)
Alchav - Jun 21, 2009
The original was better.
Balder - Jun 22, 2009
Oh shit, ShoEboX! What were we thinking releasing a song without getting Alchav's opinion on it first?
Fringe - Jun 23, 2009
The original Alchav was better.
Fringe - Jun 23, 2009
BTW, LOVE the new version!
davidtanny - Jun 23, 2009
After many edits, that song will not be on the David Tanny show...it's too good. It will be on dfsxradio's stream in the near future instead.

I haven't heard the song yet, but I couldn't resist reading the lyrics to find what was said about my own state: "...And Vermont and New Hampshire are rivals, how pathetic is that?" To that I say: New Hampshire is an up-sidedown Vermont, and furthermore is a state that wishes it could BE Vermont. I've always wondered why New Hampsire is called "The Granite State", when Vermont has the Barre Granite Quarry, which supplied granite to build the capitol building in DC. I'm sure you're song will put the FuMP on the map!

This song was so F'n good that I forgot to comment on it when it came out. Late applause for the new version of the song.
djseamus - Jun 28, 2009
Yeah, ditto for me too....finally heard the song. Good stuff Baldbox and PossCar. What you said about Vermont and New Hampshire seems tame compared to your bashing of the other states....let's keep it that way, ok? A good song for families vacationing (or Stay-Cationing) this summer.

Rockin' song, guys! Possible Oscar is great on there. And yes, I'm a Minnesotan being nice, but I DON'T secretly hate your guts. Not during this comment, anyway.
dennismk - Jul 4, 2009
Great song! But I don't understand the comments about missing a state. I counted all 50. And let's hear it for California, the only state that was worth mentioning twice! By the way, in the lyrics, Matthew's last name should be spelled Shepard according to www.matthewshepard.org.
Balder - Jul 6, 2009
Dennismk: check out the description of The Dumb Album in the FuMP store. That version was missing Indiana. Thanks for the correction on Matthew Shepard. I could SWEAR I had looked that up as I wrote the lyrics. Oh well, fixed.

As someone who has been to a crapload of states, I would just like to say that I am offended by your completely accurate characterizations of my various homelands. :-)

Just a heads up, I used this song in my podcast. I gave both your name and website in the show and release notes, and gave the Fump a shout out as well. If you want to give a listen here is the address (the January 1, 2011 episode has your song in it): http://beyondradio.libsyn.com/january-1-2011

Um, don't you go 48, 49, wait, aren't there 50 states? Which one are we missing? Dumb album indeed (but entertaining.)
